Sharon Stone recently claimed that the film producer Robert Evans asked her to sleep with Billy Baldwin

Sharon Stone recently claimed that the film producer Robert Evans, who passed away in 2019, told her that if she slept with Billy Baldwin while they worked on the 1993 movie Sliver, it would make their on-screen chemistry better.

And since speaking out, Sharon has been slammed by Billy, who has asked if the actress is "still upset" that he "didn't want to be with her" while the pair worked on the same film back in the 90s.

"If I would just have sex with him then that would save the movie, and the real problem with the movie was me because I was so uptight, and so not like a real actress who could just f*** him and get things back on track," Sharon previously shared, which appears to have riled Billy up.

In the star's 2021 memoir, without naming names, she spoke about the incident where she felt pressured to be intimate with her co-star, and then she revealed more on Louis Theroux's podcast. Speaking on his podcast recently, she said: "They expected me to bring home another giant smash hit and they gave me casting approval and they gave me all these approvals, but then when it came time for me to do it they told me it was a vanity deal and I couldn't have my approvals.

"Then they started to try to blame me for their mistakes, and they made terrible mistakes in the way that they hired directors and cast." She mentioned her co-star Billy, saying he "couldn't get one whole scene out in the test".

Sharon then touched on when she worked with Michael Douglas on the famous movie Basic Instinct, with her noting how he was different from Billy. She shared: "I didn't have to f*** Michael Douglas. Michael could come to work and know how to hit those marks, and do that line, and rehearse and show up. Now all of a sudden I'm in the 'I have to f*** people' business."

And now Billy has hit back at Sharon after she claimed the late film producer asked her to sleep with her Silver co-star. Taking to Twitter, which is now known as X, Billy penned: "Why does Sharon Stone keep talking about me after all these years? Is she still upset because I didn't want to be with her?

"Did she tell her friend Janice Dickinson the day after I screen tested and ran into them on our MGM Grand flight back to New York... 'I'm gonna make him fall so hard for me, it's gonna make his head spin.'? ? ? I know so much about her that would make her head spin but I've kept quiet."

Billy added: "The story of the meeting I had with Bob Evans imploring him allow me to choreograph the final sex scene in the photo below so I wouldn't have to kiss Sharon is absolute legend. Wonder if I should write a book and tell the many, many disturbing, kinky and unprofessional tales about Sharon? That might be fun."
